What were your top 5 Arcade Games growing up?

[VintageMike]

Ms. Pac-Man
Donkey Kong
Centipide
Galaga
Jungle King/Hunt

Honorable mentions: Joust, Popeye, Space invaders, Punch-Out

It still burrns me that Nintendo has not released the arcade versions of DK/Punch out while pretty much everyone else has released emulations of their games at least once.

1. Galaga...without question, my all time favorite of all times. I love that game so much, I even bought the full size all original arcade one. Too bad I had to sell it, as it was way too bulky for the house, moved it to my backyard roofed deck, but still sold it to make room for my new gym...check out the little videos, it worked perfectly...great condition...I still miss not having it anymore...

Top 5:
Ms Pacman -- liked it better than pacman
Donkey Kong Jr -- there was one within walking distance of my house, so I played it a lot
Centipede -- thought the track ball was so cool
Wizard of Wor -- always made me jump when the wizard appeared
Robotron 2084 -- only did well when got into a zen state

Never really played at the arcade much, but when my dad and his girlfriend would go bowling on Sundays, we'd go along at play Donkey Kong. I had more of an eye/hand coordination issue then, so I pretty much sucked at games that didn't move vertically or horizontally in a straight line (like Pong games, Space Invaders or Air-Sea Battle). But besides those games, at home on the old Atari 2600, I'd play games like Bowling, Pac-Man, and Night Driver.

^^^^ Was just thinking about Joust along with others already mentioned. I also liked Track & Field.

Man, this is a subject to bring back some memories for sure. MIB41 (Tom) and I spent many nights at PUTT PUTT playing SPY HUNTER, many afternoons at PUTTERS PALACE playing JOUST and many late evenings after work at the CONVENIENT (and I hate to think of the dollar amount in quarters) store playing TEMPEST. Good times I wish we could visit again...

I totally forgot about Gauntlet and Gauntlet 2. Those games were awesome.
